RAA, now you’ve gone and done it. You’ve kindled an ancient memory and that calls for a quick story.

The first time I ever heard the word “ratatouille” was when I conned my way into a waitering gig at this fancy French steak house kind of restaurant. (Where I was sexually harrassed by another man – apparently I had nice buns that were calling out for a solid goosing -- but that’s another story.)

One morning, cleaners came in to degrease the kitchen floor and they poured some kind of acid that found its way to a nest sending thousands of giant cockroaches racing to the furthest reaches of the dining room. These babies were still out and about when lunch was being served hours later. One of the waiters snatched a cockroach off of a table using an empty wine glass. The patrons were sitting right there at the time. They walked out. Yuck!

By the way. There was a plastic milk crate on the floor in the kitchen at the front of the line into which the busboys would discard used napkins for the laundry. If the waiters needed to wipe a plate before serving it they’d grab one of those napkins, some of which stayed on top of the pile and got used numerous times. Yuck!

As opposed to the TB executives who were likely going "Oh-My-God!!", as they realized this viral video was going to get more airing than their last 3 years of advertising budget, and negate a pile of it.

I can't think of another fast food chain than Taco Bell, besides Jack in the Box, that has had so many food hygiene scandals.
